Week of September 24, 2012

Hello Room 4 Families!
Thank you again to everyone who came to Back-to-School night. I truly appreciate your attendance and your questions. I hope you found the evening worthwhile.

Important dates this week:
Friday, September 28: Free dress day. Students may wear non-uniform clothes as long as they are school appropriate.

Language Arts Updates:
This week we will continue our first unit, School.
We will be working on recognizng and producing rhyming words every day. The ability to rhyme and manipulate sounds in words has a strong correlation with later reading success. So lots of practice now will pay off later!
New high frequency words: the, a, an, here, is
We are continuing to focus on recognizing and forming upper and lowercase letters. This week we will practice Gg, Hh, Ii, and Jj.
In writing we are continuing work on autobiographies and learning about the phases of the writing process.

Math:
We are beginning chapter 2, "Numbers 0 to 5", this week.
Our vocabulary for the week is  count, one, two, three, number, four, and five.
This week we will be working on recognizing, naming, counting to, and writing numbers 1 to 5.

Social Studies: We are continuing unit 1: "Learning to Work Together".

We are still in need of smocks the kids can wear while painting! If anyone would like to donate this would be wonderful!

Thank you to those parents who volunteered in the classroom last week! Our centers time ran very smoothly because of your help. You are all welcome to volunteer any time. Just let me know the day before.

As always, please don't hesitate to ask if you have a question. The best way to reach me is by email at carrie-relles@scusd.edu
Thank you and have a great weekend!
